Event description

The chefs, volunteers and guests who make up our Signature Chefs Events community are coming together in new, innovative ways to suport moms and babies this year.

We are following state mandated guidelines in response to COVID-19 and will not have an in-person event this year. So, we are preparing an exciting, new Virtual Gala for your 2020 March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction experience!

We need your help now more than ever. Your support funds:

  • COVID-19 interventions and support for moms and babies
  • Programs that promote health equity for moms and babies and directly combat racial disparities in maternal and child health
  • Free virtual NICU support program for families
  • Virtual prenatal programs for moms-to-be
  • Educational programs, including live Facebook panel discussions, to get info into the hands of moms and families
  • Necessary supplies for expectant mothers including blood pressure cuffs and masks and so much more!

Support the mission

Every year, 15 million babies are born prematurely worldwide, and 1 million will die before their first birthday. Your gift helps the March of Dimes fund research, education, advocacy and programs that help more moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies.

EVENT PROGRAM

Legend in Nursing

Join us in celebrating the memory of Judy Wilson-Griffin, as we recognize her as the 2020 Legend in Nursing.

Judy was an avid supporter of March of Dimes, participating in several of our volunteer leadership committees. She truly embodied excellence, compassion and dedication in her work as a nurse, and was honored as the 2019 March of Dimes Nurse of the Year in Women's Health and Obstetrics.

She will be remembered for the legend she was, as she truly lead the fight for the health of our community, and for moms and babies.
